Just a few bulleted items of interest: - The Secret Service is unfunded. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) entered a partial government shutdown around February 14, 2026, due to a congressional impasse over funding the department. This has dragged on for over two months. Most DHS employees (including many at the Secret Service) are "excepted", meaning... they continue working but without regular pay until funding is restored. Do we really believe all these VIPs would entrust a disenfranchised Secret Service to protect such an event?? - The man charges past Secret Service in the lobby, and it takes them several seconds to pull their weapons. Really? With so many VIPs at this event, why aren't guns at the ready? - A Secret Service agent was hit at close range with a shotgun, but was wearing a bulletproof vest, which stopped the shots. President Trump later said he spoke with the agent, who is in "great shape," "doing great," and in high spirits. The agent was hospitalized as a precaution but is expected to recover fully with no serious injuries. The shooter, well as we know, he's doing just fine. In what world would that be allowed to happen? - Karoline Levitt said some shots would be fired... oh sure... she was talking about a roasting of the press and not literally... - Dan Scavino posts a short clip of 4 penguins waddling on the ice today.

Donald Trump’s decision to amplify a racist rant attacking India and immigrants is disgraceful and beneath the office he holds. His rhetoric doesn’t just insult millions of Indian Americans and one of our most important global partners—it undermines the values that have made America a nation of opportunity and innovation. We should be strengthening that partnership and honoring our diversity, not stoking division for political gain.
